And That's That
And the year is done. Out with '08 and in with '09.
A good year, I'd say. Some Bacon Challenge success, some Bacon Challenge not quite success, but "mission accomplished" or not I think it's safe to say that the Bacon Challenge '08 was a great thing. All participants and supporters had fun as far as I have heard. As they like to say, "Everyone's a winner!"
As for '09? Well, nobody has really committed to a new plan as far as I can tell. It seems nothing gets people excited and motivated like bacon does. Maybe we get back into it with a new challenge in '10? Or maybe we make a quick decision? I've already had one apple and have another sitting on my desk right now so apples are sounding good to me if anything. But I'd like this to be a group thing so maybe we need more planning than this.
Oh, eating or not, here is a challenge for '09 that a co-worker/beer pong arch enemy is doing ... it's called Year of the Beard. Join in or donate or both (I guess this isn't really ideal for the ladies to participate in, but since the quest will raise some money for battered ladies I guess it all evens out).
Happy New Year everyone ... and bacon, just because you're not part of a challenge this year, don't think we won't still be eating you on the regular.

Functional Fashion
I received a shout recently from Meg C. (a non-BC '08 participant) of some crochet needles done good. How she found out about this remains a mystery. Is she a secret crocheter? A crochet fan? Just a finder of oddities? I guess that doesn't really matter. What matters is the combining of good eats with good stitches.

What Does The Future Hold?
I received an e-mail from Chris T. about a week ago:
Well? What's our deal? Is the era of challenges over, or do we go at it again? Bacon again or do we switch to something else?
Apples, to see if "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" really holds true?
Cheese?
Bananas?
Sausage?
Oreos?
Something else?
While in the home stretch we should probably get thinking/deciding.
Just came across your site today. A little late to get in on the 08 challenge, but as a daily bacon eater, I could probably catchup in the 6 weeks remaining. Any chance you will be doing this for 2009? I would be interested in participating.
Thanks,
Chris

'Tis the Season
My friend Stacey who is not a participant but is clearly a fan of all this Bacon Challenge madness sent me this today (conveniently just as the Christmas shopping season begins):
A few of these may have crossed our bacon eating paths this past 11 months, but some are definitely new to me. It seems that nothing would be better than paying for bacon with money taken from a bacon wallet, but that's just one man's opinion.
Happy Thanksgiving ... now get eating bacon. Only 34 days to get to the elusive 365.

Bacon vs. Fries
I guess somebody has to win, but if only we could overcome the bipartisan nature of politics and create a SuperSenator: election results
